“Ces personnes travaillaient vraiment fort à leur raisonnement, mais ce n'était pas un raisonnement cherchant la vérité, c'était un raisonnement soutenant leur réaction émotionnelle, un raisonnement tel que décrit par David Hume en 1739, qui disait : « la raison n'est qu'un serviteur des passions. Elle ne peut rien faire d'autre que les servir avec obéissance.»”

These subjects were reasoning. They were working quite hard at reasoning. But it was not reasoning in search of truth; it was reasoning in support of their emotional reactions. It was reasoning as described by the philosopher David Hume, who wrote in 1739 that "reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.".
